Precautions
WARNING
• For maximum protection, always wear your seat belt. No system, no matter how ad
vanced, can compensate for all driver error and/or driving conditions. Always drive
responsibly.
• Drive carefully even though your vehicle has Electronic Stability Control. It can only
assist you in maintaining control under certain circumstances.
• When ESC (electric vehicle control) is deactivated, the vehicle will loose the traction
and stability if the vehicle is driven by abrupt steering wheel control. It is possible
that the tyre may make a collision with the connected parts of the tyre. We recom
mend to do not turn off ESC whilst driving the vehicle for your safety.
• Multi-Collision Brake decreases vehicle speed after a collision and reduces the risk
of a second collision, but it does not prevent a second collision. You may drive away
from the collision spot to avoid other dangerous situations by depressing the accel
erator pedal.
• After the vehicle is stopped by Multi Collision Brake, the system stops controlling the
brakes.
Depending on the situation, the driver should depress the brake or the accelerator
pedal to prevent further accidents.
• When replacing tyres and wheels, make sure they are the same size as the original
tyres and wheels installed. Driving with varying tyre or wheel sizes may diminish any
supplemental safety benefits of the VSM system.
• HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes whilst stopped on an incline. Whilst
stopped, make sure you maintain brake pressure sufficient to prevent your vehicle
from rolling backward and causing an accident. Don't release the brake pedal until
you are ready to accelerate forward.
• The system may not operate depending on driver's driving habit, the degree to
which the brake pedal is depressed and the road surface condition.
NOTE
• A click sound may be heard in the vehicle compartment when the vehicle begins to
move after the vehicle is started. These conditions are normal and indicate that the
Anti-lock Brake System is functioning properly.
• When you jump start your vehicle because of a drained battery, the vehicle may not
run as smoothly and the ABS warning light may turn on at the same time. This hap
pens because of low battery voltage. It does not mean your ABS has malfunctioned.
◦ Do not pump your brakes!
◦ Have the battery recharged before driving the vehicle.
